Abstract

The transition from monolithic large language models (LLMs) to modular, skill-equipped agents represents a fundamental architectural shift in artificial intelligence deployment. While general-purpose models demonstrate remarkable breadth in declarative knowledge, their utility in autonomous workflows is frequently constrained by insufficient specialized procedural expertise. This report investigates a systematic framework for automated acquisition of high-quality agent skills through mining of open-source repositories on platforms such as GitHub. We focus on the extraction of visualization and educational capabilities from state-of-the-art systems including TheoremExplainAgent and Code2Video, both utilizing the Manim mathematical animation engine. The framework encompasses repository structural analysis, semantic skill identification through dense retrieval, and translation to the standardized SKILL.md format. We demonstrate that systematic extraction from agentic repositories, combined with rigorous security governance and multi-dimensional evaluation metrics, enables scalable acquisition of procedural knowledge that augments LLM capabilities without requiring model retraining. Our analysis reveals that agent-generated educational content can achieve 40% gains in knowledge transfer efficiency while maintaining pedagogical quality comparable to human-crafted tutorials.
